Stayed here during the week not knowing what to expect. Room was probably one of the best Monterey Street motels in SLO. Clean, quiet, and easy walking distance to downtown SLO. Parking is tight but plenty of street parking is available. I would absolutely stay here again!

Second time staying at this motel. It is good stay for our road trip. Room has all the conveniences and generally kept more clean that other accommodations in the same class.

It was my first time staying in a motel in the US, and the price was truly impressive, so don't expect too much or complain. It felt like a simple container house in China. I had to carry my luggage up to the second floor. The window air conditioner blew right at my pillow. The bed was soft, and the pillows were high. Cleanliness was okay. There was a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker, and there was free parking in the on-site open parking lot. There weren't many amenities nearby, so I had to drive a kilometer or two to eat or shop.

This is a great little motel that has been nicely updated inside and out. The owner is very friendly and helpful, he even gave us his number in case we needed anything. It felt clean overall. We liked the beds and we loved the pillows. The walls are thin, so you might hear your neighbor, but lots of options for white noise and the area itself is quiet. The cute little window doesn’t have blackout curtains like the main window. It’s not a huge deal, but might be hard for those who need it to be pitch black in the morning to sleep. We enjoyed our stay. It’s perfect for 2 or 3 nights in the area. Easy access to Avila Beach, etc.

What a great little place. Peaceful, restful and a pure relaxing time. This is a small family run motel, rooms are small but very clean and up date with off street parking (no charge.) If you are looking for a restful, inexpensive, quite, get a away this is the place. The local SLO shuttle bus stops close by to take you to downtown or its a 20 min walk. Great for couples or business traveler.

We had another great stay at the Sunbeam Motel. Jerry is wonderful to deal with. The room is comfortable, roomy enough, we love the convenience of fridge and microwave in the room. Still a good value for SLO, and very walkable to the the downtown area. We will be back again!

The Sunbeam Motel is an outdoing value when visiting SLO. The room was very comfortable, and while basic, was super clean and provided a microwave, fridge with separate freezer compartment, coffee maker, desk, great TV, and 2 comfy queen beds, all for less than $90. We were in room 12 at the back of the property on the ground floor, so it was pretty quiet. Walkable to restaurants and bars. Hope to stay again soon!
